Seattle Times Reporter Waxes Poetic for Belltown days of yore…

Belltown is polished now for the pretty people to bar hop on Fridays and Saturdays. Used to be grungier and edgier. Used to be more casual — in dress code and in attitude. Used to be more graffiti on them walls, too. No one’s got time for that now.

Thanks for swinging by the locals favorite strip of 2nd avenue. It’s easy to miss – just like the big picture of Belltown’s diversity. Belltown’s “grunge” is alive and well. What other neighborhood has the diversity of Belltown? 1st & 2nd ave might as well be different hemispheres on Friday nights.But, they’re not – just a block apart.
